A few hours later Brigham went home to get our "Chinnie" and bring her to the hospital. When they arrived I acted like she was my whole world. We tickled, snuggled and ate breakfast together. Then Bridger made a noise behind her. She turned around with a funny look on her face and realized there was a baby! She was very interested. We introduced them and reminded her that she has a present to give him. She grabbed the gift bag that she packed herself and proudly placed each little item in the bassinet. Then she received her gift from Brother- a baby doll!
Bridger soon cried and after picking him up, Natalynn insisted, "Baby crib" several times (I was not yet allowed to hold him). Later, when trying to coax her into holding her brother she refused with another, "baby crib." Later she finally held him and she has grown to love him more and more each day.
Any time a nurse would come and take vitals or bathe him, she had to be right there to personally be sure that they would not harm him. To this day she hasn't shown jealousy, only protectiveness. 
The next evening she was very excited to bring him home and helped to buckle him in. She also enjoyed having a buddy in the back seat.
